Comment (by karsten):

 cypherpunks/chinguch1, what you suggest would require serving multiple
 versions at once, which was never done before and which is currently not
 planned.  I'm not saying that it's a bad idea, but it can be difficult to
 implement, depending on the protocol change.

 Note that we're only making it more explicit now that a protocol change
 might break clients.  We already had to make backward-incompatible changes
 in the past.  We announced those changes months in advance and gave
 developers the opportunity to adapt their code.  So far, I didn't hear
 about problems with this policy.

 And technically, clients will not automatically break by a major protocol
 version bump.  It's just that it's their fault if they break, not the
 server's fault.

 Anyway, thanks for the input!
